i have a somewhat large loop in the back of my head, and i make a point to look at it a few times a day, i love my loops, i don't have very many yet, but the most defiant dreads, are by far my favorite, and it might sound weird to say this, but they remind me of me, i was definitely, without a doubt, a crazy, defiant child/teenager, and the more i mature, the more i calm down, but there is times, i miss my crazy days, because of so many memories , and i know that as my hair matures, i will see less of them, and they will get less crazy also, and i'm really gonna miss it , but i see my hair as starting from babies, growing as i was, and maturing like i am, kind of like they're growing with me , and no matter how mature myself, or my babies get, there will always be kinks and loops, it's just the way i am, and the way i'm supposed to be, just like my hair <3

personally the loops near my roots drive me nuts and they hurt, too. my locs rotate as their knotting and it pulls soawkwardlythat it causes pain on my scalp. i wish they would hurry the hell up and knot the rest of the way so the pulling will be more evenly distributed. ugh:(

Try sleeping with a loose tam, or with your hair tied up loosely, it should help relieve some tension, and make sure you're separating, one of the loops i have near the scalp was bothering me quite a bit, and i didn't realize it was trying to mate with another dread, in a weird spot also, so i think that's what alot of the pulling was coming from, i don't know how but when separating my hair, i was managing to miss that one spot.. if that's not the cause, maybe you could try and wrap it, for a while, see if it helps with the tugging, just be sure to adjust the loop so it's sitting comfortably inside of the wrap goodluck

thanks, nichole. unfortunately tying my hair up pulls more on my problem sections. they're right on top of my head next to my part and even putting on a headband hurts. over the last few months they have beenalternatingthe pulling as it gets closer to my scalp. i've been separating those ones in particular after every wash so i know that they aren't connected to any other dreads. i've also been just wearing my hair down a lot lately because i don't feel the pull as much that way. i'm sure it will work itself out in time and it wouldn't bug me at all if it didn't hurt. i hate having thin hair:(

that does suck, if you find any relief let me know, maybe even 100% aloe, maybe it will condition it but not too much, just enough for the loop to loosen up a little bit,, and make it managable?? idk just trying to help lol, keep me posted good luck with it! hope you find relief soon, i know how bad that can suck, i had the same problem in my first set, but i wrapped the loop in a comfy pos. and it helped me, sorry you can't get the same relief <3

they're not just by the scalp, they can form anywhere, and it's exactly what it sounds like.. they're little loops in the dread lol, i have a video on my page of my update and show a few of mine

What loops are you talking about? Is it a texture thing? I look at my roots all the time and don't see any loops. =/
